This game is so classic. One of the best, if not the best castlevania out there. Even after nearly a decade of gba/ds castlevanias in the same vein, this one seems to reign supreme. It took the series out of a doldrum and excellerated the rpg infused style. I personally cannot wait to spend money on this once again, and its guaranteed I will get all 200 points, with pleasure. If you havent ever played this or any of this style of castlevanias, you are in for a treat. The achievements below seem really fair and almost successfully encompass all of the games different gameplay extremes. 200.6% is really the maximum percentage you can get so, that in itself is a chore. I wonder if they will keep the awesome glitches intact.

Weapon Master 10Defeat 10 consecutive enemies using special weapons without getting hit.-------------------------Changeling 10Obtain the Bat, Wolf and Mist transformations.All of these are located in the Normal Castle-------Familiar 10Collect all five familiars in the game.

2) Hellfire: U, D, DF, F + Attack Just like Dracula. After you teleport out, press left or right to determine where you teleport in. Then, you'll do Dracula's 3-Fireball attack. Or, hold U as you teleport in to do Dracula's large fireball attack. Hold D to cancel the fireball period and just have a teleport. (15 MP)

Money Bags 25Collect a bank of $100,000.----------------------------------You should be able to get this when you are 150% done the game with a few Diamonds and Onxy's.You may also use the Librarian Glitch (Req: Sword Card and Sword Familar Equiped)

I for one am super psyched to see this game get re-released as it did. I think we need to see much more of these kinds of releases vs what they try to pawn off on us for $5.

I don't want another reiteration of PacMan, I want classing Saturn games, I want Dreamcast games, I want NiGHTS, I want D, I was Battletoads, I don't need updates, just port the game and sell it for $10.

This is an area where Sega for one could make a killing. I hope other companies look at how Konami is making money hand over fist over offering this up. I'll buy great classics for $5 or $10, but I won't rebuy Joust or PacMan for $5 over and over again.

Microsoft needs to take a page from Nintendo's virtual console and really cater to back catalogs. I'd buy Castlevania SOTN 6 times before I bought the newest game. Which one do you think they see more return on investment on?
